Did the "Blackish" creator cut his old friend out of the project?

The co-creator of ABC’s hit Blackish is suing for $1 million and claiming Kenya Barris cut him out of the show, according to TMZ. Bryan Barber says Blackish is very similar to the show he and Barris created back in 2006. Barber and Barris have known each other since their college days, dating back to 1996.
